Are you unhappy with photos others are taking of you because of your double chin? Do you take selfies from above the face to avoid showing your double chin? Are you self-conscious about your overall appearance due to excess fat around the neck area? Now is the time to take charge of your appearance, while improving your self-confidence every day!

How does a double chin form?

It is a common misconception that a double chin is formed from weight gain. While this may be the reason for some excess fat in the chin and neck area, it is not the only reason. Some patients have a genetic predisposition to submental fullness, or excess fat, in the neck. Others may notice their double chin developing as they age. Regardless of the cause, the team at North Scottdale Med Spa in Phoenix, AZ has a solution that does not involve plastic surgery: Kybella.

Understanding how Kybella works

Kybella is a special injectable that has an active ingredient called deoxycholic acid. This ingredient can be used to combat fat cells where injected. It is the first and only injectable approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the reduction of submental fullness. Kybella is injected along the chin and neck, and over time, the appearance of the double chin will be reduced. The results occur over time, and are often seen over several weeks. The body will naturally break down the treated fat cells and flush them out through the lymphatic system.

Are results immediate?

Patients will not notice results immediately after treatment. This is because the process happens on its own underneath the skin. The fat cells are removed from the body naturally, resulting in permanent results that are seen gradually. Patients can choose to have Kybella injections performed routinely to continually treat submental fullness and improve confidence.
